FIFA Confederations Cup: Mexico snatch late 2-2 draw against Portugal

Portugal thought they had snatched victory in the closing stages of the match, as Cedric Soares' deflected effort found the corner of Mexico's net with four minutes of normal time remaining.

"In the end it was a well-deserved result after how we played today", Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said.

It was his snap-shot from the edge of the area, rebounding from the woodwork, that fell into the path of Joao Moutinho in the move that led to a correctly disallowed opening "goal" by Pepe.
